Make events consumable

[JustRed23]

I would like to add a feature that adds consumable events. We have an event listener and we can process all events there but why not in the Button itself?

Ex. Button.primary("buttonid:dostuff", "Do stuff").onEvent(buttonInteractionEvent -> buttonInteractionEvent.getChannel().sendMessage("Hello world!").queue())

You could still listen for the events but they could get handled like this as well

but why not in the Button itself?

Because that would result in a massive amount of memory allocations. You are creating a new listener every single time you create a button.

Also, the event system in JDA is pluggable, and we cannot provide a consistent way to do this on buttons with the different event systems. Additionally, buttons are created using static factory methods that do not have any access to the gateway context.

Interesting, thanks
